Broccoli Casserole

Inspired by Sweet Cheek‘s broccoli casserole, we made a version omitting the cream mushroom soup and replacing it with sour cream. The sharp cheddar cheese, bits of broccoli, melty onion and the texture of butter panko crumb is a great side dish or even a quick brunch item.

Place frozen broccoli into a very large mixing bowl. Break up the frozen broccoli. Dice onion. Using a rubber spatula, scrape sour cream and mayonnaise, chopped onion, egg crushed crackers mixture on top of broccoli, and mix well. Sprinkle in cheese, and mix well. Season with paprika.

Spread mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth top of casserole. Melt butter and combine with panko bread crumb. Sprinkle additional cheese to the casserole and sprinkle melted butter and panko mixture. Bake for 35 minutes or until set and browned.
